  Sorry, but is a loonie store the equivalent of a dollar store?

    As a west coast Canadian, I have literally never heard them called a loonie store.

      Interesting. It’s definitely a thing in use just across the mountains, although dollar store is also in the mix.

        Three Canadian dollars is equivalent to an American nickel.

    Yup. So-called because of the loon on the tail of the coin. The two-dollar coin is called the toonie by analogy.

    (We say dollar store sometimes too)

  Yeah what an egregious generalization from someone vandalizing a bathroom to all Americans. I mean come on.
